Planed Features

Coming Soon

• Improved Documentation
• Multiple base version ie Mirth Connect 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, etc...

Down the Road

• More Examples!
• Step by Step guides for setting up MC in a variety of ways i.e. deployed to AWS using RDS and EFS
• Images with Custom Libs
• Poor Mans clustering ie Clustering without

Known Issues and Limitations

• When running multiple MC Containers off the same Database ie clustering Mirth without the clustering plugin has many issues with polling channels. Thus poor mans clustering should only be used for non-polling channels.
